With Good Intentions
Chapter Eight
Ryuu kept his hand on Yuki's shoulder, watching the tears run down the novelist's face.
"What should I do now—Shuu….he's…."
"It's okay, I'm here for you…."
"And what the hell can you do?" Yuki glared at Ryuu, eyes narrowed, cheeks tear-stained.
"Well, I…."
Suddenly a strange gleam came to Yuki's eyes and he grabbed Ryuu's hand off his shoulder; his other hand reached back to pull Ryuu's hair, an action that moved the singer's face closer to him.
"Yu—" Ryuu's voice cut off when the novelist brought trembling lips to his, kissing him roughly at first, then gently. "Yuki!" Ryuu stared flabbergasted at the novelist after the kiss ended, his shock apparent in his blush.
That's when he heard a noise behind them, a gasp it sounded like—no more like a strangled cry, and Ryuu turned his head to see Shuuichi standing by the door.

Hiro stood outside when Shuuichi went back in, he refused to see the novelist again after hurting his friend by jumping to conclusions. Sure it was his fault—he shouldn't have kissed Shuu, but he needed someway his friend could forget the novelist.
So far it hadn't worked. Shuuichi still ran back to Yuki, more worried how the novelist was taking the misunderstood kiss than about his own feelings. One minute he was crying about how mean Yuki was and the next he thought of nothing else but the well-being of the novelist.
"I don't care what you have to say, how could you….I…." Shuuichi came running out of the door to the building, angry tears streaming down his face.
"But Shuu-kun, it's not what it looks like…." Ryuu stepped out after the pink haired singer.
"Yuki's mine, and you had…."
"He kissed me, I didn't…."
Shuuichi cringed; hurt worse by that thought—safer to keep his assumption than realize the truth. That Yuki kissed Ryuu—no, he couldn't think about what that would mean.
"Come on Hiro, we're leaving." He hopped on Hiro's motorcycle, ignoring the confused look on his friend's face.
-
"You did that on purpose!" Ryuu confronted Yuki, tears in his blue eyes. "Now Shuuichi hates me…why did you have to do that?"
"To get him out of here. I can't stand being around him now. Anyway, it's your fault for not leaving when I told you to."
"But…but….you made Shuuichi hate me! We were friends and now…."
"That's not my problem." Yuki went back to smoking his cigarette, eyes and expression cold.
"You….you….I hate you!" Ryuu turned and stormed out of the apartment, tears running down his face.
